   I have often wondered what language it was myself. Mrs. Leander's version is   
   in Swedish.  On the Wiki page, this is detailed. I believe this to be credible   
   because Mrs. Leander was a Swedish woman and actress before she moved to   
   Germany. Her native    
   language was Swedish. At about 1:30 in her version of "Bei Mir Bist Du   
   Schoen," she says phrases that mean some-thing along the lines of "Beautiful"   
   in several different languages. Now, we just need a person, who speaks   
   Swedish, to translate and write    
   the lyrics!
